So today while talking to my training NCO, I found out of a program that would put Marines with 2 years of college into Officer Candidate School, and they would have until they picked up the rank of Major (O-4) to complete their bachelors. All I am missing is 2 years of active duty (which I will have in February) and my transcript from Lon Morris, TAMUCC, and SFA.
Also in January the MSG screeners come back, and there is no way I would be denied it this time.
So now I am put to a choice. Which to choose? I am leaning more to the Officer side, which will push me to get my degree, more pay, and more benefits. Plus, I may be put in an MOS that I actually want to do.
But MSG will do other things for me, it's closer to what I want to do in life.
I am going to talk to my Training NCO tomorrow for more on these. Wish me luck!

You will have to let us know what you decide! The officer and a 4 year degree sounds really good!
Two paths to take, both lead to a place you want to be. Flip a coin?
Go for the Officer! Pay grade is WAY better, and the gov pays 100% of school and Sgt.'s have to salute You!
But if you go with officer you will be in longer. :(
Sounds like 2 wonderful choices.
